COUPLES? If you are part of a DU couple and are married/engaged/seriously

[hisownpetard]

into flirting with each other/or otherwise emotionally entwined - and if it's common knowledge and not a secret -
mind telling us who goes with whom? It's hard in the beginning to figure that out. I do know of JeffR and Nance,
and sniffa and bicentennial_babe, I think.

Your turn...

[RetroLounge]

1. Besides you and I?

:loveya:

RL

[hisownpetard]

4. Awwwwwwwwwww.....

:blush: :loveya: :bounce:

[RetroLounge]

72. We could be one of those smoking hot poet-couples...

:hi:

RL

[hisownpetard]

87. Whaddya mean, 'could' be??!?! I thought we already was!

[RetroLounge]

94. Of course we are...

that's what I meant...

:yoiks:

RL

[LeftyMom]

2. Wasn't there a thread about this not too long ago?

:shrug:

[hisownpetard]

5. I didn't see it. Link?

[LeftyMom]

18. I guess the last one was longer ago than I thought.

Or I can't think of a good keyword anyhow. I could have sworn there was a similar thread not too long ago.

[bicentennial_baby]

20. There was...a few weeks back

I can't remember how it was phrased though...I only remember b/c I was mentioned in the OP of that one too. :P

[LeftyMom]

21. Can you blame anyone? You and sniffa = teh awesome.

[SallyMander]

143. I think it might have been my goofy copycat

"posters who are kissing" :D

[hisownpetard]

22. So, should you and flvegan be added to this list?

[LeftyMom]

23. Yeah.

:bounce:

[hisownpetard]

30. Jeez, you really made me work for that!

[LeftyMom]

32. Yeah, but everybody knows that anyway.

:shrug:

[hisownpetard]

38. Not 'everybody,' apparently. Not *moi,* but I guess I never paid attention.

[LeftyMom]

We're not exactly subtle about it.

:blush:

[hisownpetard]

51. Eh - subtlety is grossly over-rated. I say, Out with it!! (and the reverse is also true,

at the appropriate time).:blush: :blush: :blush: :blush:

[EstimatedProphet]

118. My wife and I - TheProphetess

[hisownpetard]

132. Wow. And did you meet on DU, or pre-DU (or - heaven forbid - did it have nothing at all to dp

with DU?)...

[EstimatedProphet]

147. We met through a mutual real-life friend

She joined DU after we got together.

[EstimatedProphet]

133. Wrong place sorry

[LynzM]

3. LynzM and Zornhau (who was formerly known as Briarius)

:hi:

[hisownpetard]

6. Cool. Did you meet on DU?

[LynzM]

28. Nope

We met while on study abroad in Germany, from different US universities. He introduced me to DU :D

[La Lioness Priyanka]

102. thats who zornhau is? why did he change

[LynzM]

120. Hehe, yep....

Mostly, I think, sick of nobody being able to pronounce his screen name... :shrug:

[fudge stripe cookays]

146. Um...

yep, zornhau is MUCH easier. (?) :P

[LynzM]

153. I know, right?

But at least it's an actual German word? I thought he should have made it "Zornhau the Destroyer," but he thought that might be a bit contentious for posting in GD... :rofl:

[Zornhau]

177. it is so easier!

:P

[Kat45]

148. I didn't know Briarius had changed his handle

Zornhau, huh? I'll have to remember that. Maybe that's why it seems like there are hardly any Duers around anymore that I know--they've all changed their names. :D

:hi: to the two of you.

[flvegan]

7. Seriously into flirting? Here?

Nobody does that here.

:hide:

[hisownpetard]

8. Did I ever tell you, I really like the way you type?

[flvegan]

9. I've been told my hands are magical.

[hisownpetard]

11. What are you doing Fri. night?

[flvegan]

16. If I were a lucky man, backing up my post.

[LeftyMom]

12. Less so than other things, but you do have sexy hands. nt

[hisownpetard]

17. What a stunning endorsement!

[LeftyMom]

19. He does have extremely sexy hands.

:9

[lizziegrace]

10. Lelapin and ZombieNixon met online over a year ago

they just passed their one year anniversary dating. (He's in Chicago, she's in Ohio and they're both in college.)

[hisownpetard]

13. That's awesome.

:hi:

[RetroLounge]

14. No one *I* know...

O8)

RL

[hisownpetard]

15. Can you tell me anything about the city of Pittsburgh?

[RetroLounge]

24. It's a tropical Island east of Ohio...

That's about all I know...

RL

[hisownpetard]

41. Ah, yes - I believe the rivers are filled with jumbo shrimp, free for the pickin'.

and the streets are paved with gold?

[RetroLounge]

61. So you've been there?

:rofl:

RL

[VenusRising]

25. VenusRising and Zodiak Ironfist.

We were married before we joined DU.

Now we sit on the couch together with our little laptops open going...."You have to go to the Lounge/GD and see this thread!" :rofl:

[hisownpetard]

31. What a great picture. Are you allowed to speak, or do you have to write those comments

to each other?

Seriously, though - as important as politics have become in this country, due to the 7-year plague we've been
forced to suffer, it must be wonderful to have a spouse with whom you can discuss the important issues, knowing
that your hearts are in the same place.

[VenusRising]

44. Yes, we can speak to each other.

We comment to each other sometimes as well. If he's at work and I can't get in touch with him by phone I send him a PM on DU because I know he'll see it. :rofl:

On the serious side...It is very nice to have someone with the same principles. We lived in Texas when * was governor. I was injured at work and couldn't get the medical care I needed because of what * did to the worker's compensation program. It was completely gutted to give tax cuts to guess who! So, we were fighting him long before and kind of battened down the hatches in 2000. We had a pretty good idea what we were in store for except our imaginations paled in comparison to the havoc they have wreaked on this country.

[hisownpetard]

77. It's true - even the most cynical amongst us could not have imagined the insidious ways

in which Bush&Co. have invaded and degraded the principles this country has adhered to
for two hundred years. And I believe we don't know the half of it yet.

[graywarrior]

57. I'm jealous.

[VenusRising]

60. Why?

I talk to you on DU much more than I talk to him. ;)

[graywarrior]

62. Oh well, in that case...I'm secure in our relationship.

:loveya:

[VenusRising]

65. Never fear, my sparkling jewel.

Our love is safe.

:loveya:

[graywarrior]

69. Whew.

[mzteris]

26. Retrolounge and

EVERYBODY!!

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

33. You may have just broken my heart with that comment. Wait, lemme look....

oh, yes, I see! That's my heart, lying in shards on the floor of what used to be my life (she said,
dramatically).

And I thought I was special.

[mzteris]

49. oh sweetie . . .

You ARE special!!

:hug:

Don't fret, though. There's enough RL to go around for everyone. He's amazing! :loveya:



















:rofl:

[RetroLounge]

64. You're Check is in the mail...

You give good PR...

:rofl:

RL

[lizziegrace]

70. So now it's called

....PR??

;)

[RetroLounge]

71. What's in a name?

That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet...

:hi:

RL

[lizziegrace]

73. ...

:hi:

Now you're all poetic. ;) Shameless...


:rofl:

[RetroLounge]

74. Shameless? Why yes. Yes I am...

:loveya:

RL

[lizziegrace]

75. ...

wouldn't expect you to be any other way.



:loveya:


:hug:

[hisownpetard]

91. A 'rose'? Who called it a 'rose'? I thought she said, 'Hose.'

[mzteris]

81. omg

:rofl:

that's a new abbreviation for loungies if I ever saw one. :P

[mzteris]

79. how 'bout I just

collect in person? ;)

[RetroLounge]

107. Much better plan...

:hi:

RL

[hisownpetard]

85. The man is indefatigable.

[mzteris]

86. oooooooo - I just love it

when you use big words! :loveya:

[hisownpetard]

88. Sometime you need big words to describe big things.

[RetroLounge]

67. Wait a mnute, I'm pretty discerning in my taste...

It's not EVERYBODY...

Just the females in the lounge.

Oh, and xchrom and swimboy too :loveya:

Oh, hell. who am I kidding. It's everyone, I'm a slut...

:rofl:

RL

[mzteris]

78. but you're

OUR slut.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[RetroLounge]

80. Exactly...

be gentle...

:D

RL

[mzteris]

83. Gentle?

That's not what you said LAST time!

:evilgrin:

[RetroLounge]

96. What can I say?

You had me at "slaveboy"

:D

RL

[mzteris]

101. speaking of . . .

my toenails need painting again! ;)

[RetroLounge]

175. The usual color, mistress?

:D

RL

[mzteris]

180. I'll let you pick this time -

as long as it's Hot.

:evilgrin:

[RetroLounge]

182. If it's on *your* toes, it would be HOT by definition...

:loveya:

RL

[hisownpetard]

92. A gentleman in the bookstore but a slut on the boards...

[RetroLounge]

95. ...

:spray:

:hi:

RL

[hisownpetard]

98. Starting to sweat now, are ya?? Maybe it's those friggin' FLANNEL PAJAMAS...

(As you can see, I'm bi-threadal).

[Gormy Cuss]

27. hisownpetard and Grovelbot met on DU and now live together.

:evilgrin:

[hisownpetard]

35. I hate Grovelbot, and I resent your inaccurate and mean-spirited implication that we co-habit.

If I wanted to live with a greedy, controlling, robot, I wouldn't have gotten divorced.

You have some nerve.

:hi:

[Critters2]

145. Why that bastard!!

He follows me around, convincing me he really wants something from me, making me think he NEEDS what I can give him. Only to learn that I'm not the only one!! Bastard!

[Gormy Cuss]

154. You can't trust bots with beady red eyes. n/t

[hisownpetard]

167. Ain't it da troot?

[Heidi]

29. Call Me Wesley and I are married, but we're both seriously into flirting with Oedi.

:P

Monty Python --> Call Me Wesley's flirtation device
My wrist fetish --> My flirtation device

[KitchenWitch]

34. I love to flirt with Oedi too!

:D

[hisownpetard]

37. You, me and half of DU. Damn! And here I thought I was special.

:hurts: :shrug: :thumbsdown: :cry:

[Heidi]

42. You ARE special

And I'll start flirting with you the minute I'm finished with Oedi. :P

[hisownpetard]

45. And I'll flirt right back (provided that I'm also done with Oedi). Come to think of it,

how come Oedi isn't exhausted by now? That guy's got some purty sturdy flirting abs going for him, ya know?

[Heidi]

48. He's on the west coast, so he's resting right now, I'm sure.

Being the object of widespread adoration really takes it out of a luvDawg guy, ya know.

[hisownpetard]

53. His body may be resting but there's no stopping those crazy typing fingers of his.

I guess all he wants is to, umm, feel special. Can't blame him for that, now, can we?

[Heidi]

55. To tell you the truth about Oedi, it's all in the wrists.

:evilgrin:

[hisownpetard]

76. So I've heard, so I've heard. *sigh*

[Heidi]

40. Ahhhhhhhh, but YOU are one of my girl crushes!

:*

[hisownpetard]

47. Finally - a declaration of something or other!!!!!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :loveya: :yourock: :yourock: :yourock:

[Heidi]

50. Whuuuuuuuuut?

I said I was _married_ to Call Me Wesley. That's a declaration of something, annit? Like, for example, that he's my future ex-husband. :P

[hisownpetard]

56. Positive thinking rules!

[KitchenWitch]

141. And you are one of mine as well!

:*

[hisownpetard]

36. Heidi's married? Didn't know that! Maybe because I've seen you seriously flirting with Oedi!

[Heidi]

39. Hahahahahahaha!

If I had to choose a DU best friend besides CMW, it'd be Oedi. But you'd probably noticed that, too. ;)

[hisownpetard]

43. Oh, Oh, for just one sparkling little moment, I thought you were gonna say - you'd pick me! Damn!

And here I thought I was, ya know - special.

[Heidi]

46. Wait a minute. I have to do a background check!

Google>petard>noun>define>search

:rofl: :spray:

[hisownpetard]

52. You should know that the felonies have all been reduced to misdemeanors, and the pending

litigation will probably be settled out of court.

[Heidi]

54. "Why, Mrs. Cleaver, that's a lovely dress you're wearing!"

:*

:yourock:

[SPKrazy]

58. me and ...

89. Rev left me

i dunno, YOU?

:rofl:

:silly:

[RevolutionaryActs]

108. No, it was billyskank!

But gray is my one true love. :rofl:

[graywarrior]

113. We can never, EVER be broken apart.

EVER!

[billyskank]

116. We're a freak triangle.

[graywarrior]

130. We make ships disappear.

[mzteris]

84. what about

me?

I thought we had an "understanding"!

[SPKrazy]

90. an understanding...

;)

I dunno?

:shrug:

:rofl: :rofl:

how's those pigs?

yummy

[mzteris]

93. Yummy . . .

do you mean me?

or the pigs?

[SPKrazy]

97. ROFL

well i was talking about the pigs :P

:yoiks:

:hi:

[mzteris]

99. hmmmph. . .

well, then.

Maybe we DON'T have an "understanding!" :cry:

[SPKrazy]

100. ahhhh

:hug:

:hug:

:P

[graywarrior]

59. I'm hitched to RevActs but married to Liberal Hypnotist

and I flirt with billyskank and any other male/female/bi/gay who will flirt with me.

[hisownpetard]

82. Did I ever tell you I love the way you type?

[graywarrior]

114. Now there's an original pick up line

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

117. I thought so, too - complimentary, without being too personal. I'm workin' it!

[graywarrior]

131. In addition to your own individual typing skills.

[RevolutionaryActs]

110. Of course, I still have the marriage license!

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

112. Wow. You know this thread is getting serious when they start dragging out the documents!!

[graywarrior]

115. Damn right!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

103. rockit and i. though she doesnt post here anymore/

[hisownpetard]

104. Did she change her politics or just decide not to post anymore?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

105. she is too busy. i would never date a non-dem. nt

[hisownpetard]

106. Me, neither. Never. And I can understand being too busy: DU is a time-gobbler!!

:hi:

[SarahB]

109. Finnfan and I have been married almost a year.

When we started dating almost 3 years ago, we single-handedly made the lounge ill with our in-love schmoopie-ness too. Now, we're domesticated old married folks. Our wedding pic is in his journal. http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Finnfan

[hisownpetard]

111. I envy your shmoopie-ness! Great in-love picture of the two of you. Congrats.

[terrya]

119. I'm very much in love with IntravenousDemilo

I love that guy so much.

SHMILY, honey.

[hisownpetard]

122. Ahhhhhhh...

:toast:

[FuzzySlippers]

121. My fella is one of DU's dearly departed....

Crazy Guggenheim. :loveya:

[hisownpetard]

123. I'm sure the love is still there, ya know?

[FuzzySlippers]

124. Oh, I didn't mean he was dead.

I mean he was TSed. :o

[hisownpetard]

125. Bwah -Haha -hahaa-aaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who knew!

[FuzzySlippers]

126. I guess he was before your time.

:)

[hisownpetard]

127. Yes - but I happily withdraw my condolences. Glad they're not needed.

[TK421]

176. I remember CG....I miss that guy terribly

especially his yak threads

[Shakespeare]

128. I'm dating one of those, too!!

Don't think I'll give his (TS'd) name, though--there are some folks here who'd hunt me down and kill me with sticks if they knew who it was. :rofl:

[FuzzySlippers]

129. I'm kinda worried that'll happen to me, too.

:rofl:

[hisownpetard]

135. Do they have a little ex-patriate club going on?

[Shakespeare]

138. No, he was banned about 3 years ago, I think.

I think I'm the only person from DU he kept in touch with, and things only turned romantic about a year ago.

I will say this, though: those who thought he was a horrible, mean person (gasp! a libertarian!) could not be more mistaken. He's funny and sweet and one of the most decent human beings I've ever had the privilege to know (and hates Bush with a passion). :loveya:

[hisownpetard]

142. Great story! Glad the two of you stayed in touch. (P.S. My son's a writer in L.A.

Are you a writer, as well?)

[RetroLounge]

149. OMG! You're dating Cuban Liberal?

:rofl:

RL

[Shakespeare]

150. HAHA. Very funny.

It is to laugh. :eyes:

NO.

168. If you weren't so darn cute in those PJs, I'd spank you myself.

Oh, wait a sec.... :think:

:rofl: :hi:

[RetroLounge]

170. Tease...

:evilgrin:

RL

[Audio_Al]

183. Ahem. Radio Lady and Audio Al are married, but certainly not "the same person."

J'accuse! What a hoot!

Now that the judges are seated, here's one photo to prove it.

Oh, perhaps now we'll have to admit it -- the camel is a mirage...

Giza, Egypt (1984)



Marco Island, Florida (2002)



Near San Antonio, TX (2004)



In London in love (2006)



Respectfully,



Audio Al, your Radio Pal

Audio Al is a graduate Electrical Engineer who has had a lifelong love affair with works of fiction. Early on, he was determined to know good from bad, and he devoted himself to the classics…even while studying the technical courses that were required to earn his BSEE.

He excelled in math and even completed all of that upper level math course work needed for an MSEE. Some of his favorite early authors were Charles Dickens, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky and Emile Zola. He prides himself on having read Tolstoy’s tome “War and Peace” from cover to cover. Maybe it was a result of being the son of a Russian immigrant.

Al’s favorite genre is Science Fiction. For him this does not usually include Fantasy, although he occasionally does read some of this too. He has read all of the Dune books, including the prequels and sequels co-authored by Frank’s son, Brian, and Kevin J. Anderson. He loved Anne Rice’s Vampire and Witches series and is sad that she has gone in different direction after finding religion. He says that Rice’s writings were very rich and well done.

Al has read many horror and mystery/suspense novels. He is always reading something…and with audio books so available… he is always listening to something. He has read/listened to almost all of John Grisham’s novels – an easy read, he says – and he prefers David Baldacci’s work. He has grown weary of Stephen King, and he has really turned off on Clive Cussler. Al with his wife, DUer Radio_Lady Ellen, have traveled much of the world and they continue to visit new places every year. But Al never leaves before loading up his MP3 players with four or five new audio books.

[RetroLounge]

185. and this has nothing to do with this thread

Take your agenda elsewhere, I don't need another DU stalker.

Haven't seen you in awhile! :loveya: :hi: :loveya:

Things are going just swimmingly, btw. How's the Mrs?

[proud2BlibKansan]

181. He was one of my faves

I remember him well!

[yardwork]

134. What? I didn't know about those two couples mentioned in the OP.

I'm so clueless. :-(

[hisownpetard]

136. On the other hand, I could be totally wrong. (You think you're clueless? I don't even

know how to post a picture, and the Sat.night pic thread has a brazillian responses on it,
so I feel like a total Moran)!!

[DarkTirade]

137. I am, and have been for far too long, single.

Mostly because I worked a night shift job for almost 3 years, so I was awake when everyone else in the world was asleep and vice versa. That, and after I broke up with my last ex I didn't WANT to be in a relationship for a while. :P

[lost-in-nj]

139. hey you

:hug: :hug:

there is someone special

and she is there waiting....

promise........



lost

[DarkTirade]

144. Well, I just moved across the country.

So now there's a whole new crop of people who haven't had a chance to get to know my bad habits and annoying quirks yet. :) If I'm good enough, I can blind them with my good looks before they catch on.

[stuntcat]

140. bhunt70 is my husband

he hasn't come here for years though, so this is no revelation I guess :D he wasn't well known or any of that.

[mikeytherat]

151. mikeytherat and bonecrusher

But I don't think she's posted yet.

mikey_the_rat

[Rhythm]

155. Oktoberain and i ..... 8 yrs and still making kissy faces at each other!

We only rarely post in the same threads, though...

[hisownpetard]

172. Here's a toast to kissy-faces.

:toast: :hi:

[MountainLaurel]

156. KevinJ and I have been married 2 years

We met at a DU meetup at a protest almost 5 years ago.

[hisownpetard]

174. Methinks thou doth protest too much...

[LostinVA]

157. Haruka and I were married in September

We met on here.

[LeftyMom]

158. That was so fun.

You two should get married more often. :bounce:

[LostinVA]

159. It was -- my mom was talking about it the other day

I HAD to come in here for this thread.

[LeftyMom]

160. "We were at a lesbian wedding today"

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

161. hahahahaha -- Haruka and I were talking about that last week!

Classic.

[LeftyMom]

163. And at Victoria's Secret.

That poor thing, having to get that voice mail message "Hi hon, I'm bra shopping with a car load of lesbians at Victoria's secret right now. Shame you couldn't make it to the wedding."

[LostinVA]

164. And, we BOUGHT stuff

[hisownpetard]

165. I'm glad you did. Congratulations to you both!

[flvegan]

169. I was *this* close. Then you stole her from me.

[LostinVA]

171. No

[GOPisEvil]

178. Is it too late to mention Madrone and I?

We just passed a year. We met through DU.

I was just visiting her, and I traveled home today, which explains my lateness. :)

[lost-in-nj]

179. oh you

she is so adorable.....

:hug: to you both....

:hi:
I want to be a DU couple.....
I have some candidates in mind........
